PD-01
01 / Raw material feeding
Bin tipper
Feeds stone fruit from a pallet box to the washer and stabilizes the start of the entire line.
Juice production lines
Stone fruit processing line
Check what equipment is included in a line for processing plums, sour cherries, sweet cherries, apricots, peaches and other stone fruit.
Equipment in line
Equipment for stone fruit
We configure the line according to the type of stone fruit, stone separation method, planned capacity and finished product packaging method.
MT-1000
MT-2000
MT-3000
MT-400002 / Washing and transport
Transport washer
Washes, rinses and transports stone fruit without continuous grinding. We can provide a version with a sliding or removable grinder if the line is also intended to process other raw materials.
PC-1000
03 / Pulping and stone separation
De-stoning machine
Separates stones, skins and larger solid fractions from the pulp. This is the main stage for stone fruit, so a belt press is not used in this configuration.
Buffer tank
Bag filter04 / Buffering and filtration
Buffer tank and bag filter
The tank stabilizes product flow before pasteurization, while the bag filter helps produce a clearer product when filtration is required.

Filling machine
Fills the finished product into Bag-in-Box bags or bottles, depending on the sales and storage method.
Ask about line selectionHow the complete line works
From stone fruit intake to finished product
A stone fruit line must safely feed, wash and prepare the raw material for stone separation. The configuration is selected according to the fruit type, such as plums, sour cherries, sweet cherries, apricots or peaches, as well as the planned capacity and packaging method.
Raw material intake and preparation
The process starts with safe unloading of fruit from containers or pallet boxes. The raw material goes to the washer, where it is rinsed and transported further. For stone fruit, the grinder does not operate continuously, and in a universal version it can be moved or removed for this stage of the process.
Pulping and buffering
The de-stoning machine separates stones and solid fractions, and the resulting pulp, purée or juice semi-finished product goes to the buffer tank. The tank stabilizes operation between de-stoning, pasteurization and filling.
Pasteurization and filling
The finished product is heated in a pasteurizer to a set temperature to improve shelf life and product safety. At the end of the line, the product can be filled into Bag-in-Box bags or bottles, depending on the sales model and planned capacity.
What do we choose in the project?
- washing, pulping, pasteurization and filling capacity,
- product type: juice, pulp, purée or fruit base,
- packaging method: Bag-in-Box or bottles,
- machine layout for the production hall, operation and future service.

FAQ
Stone fruit processing line
What fruits are considered stone fruit?
Most often, these are plums, sour cherries, sweet cherries, apricots, peaches and similar fruit with hard stones. The process is selected according to stone size, fruit ripeness and the expected product texture.
Why don't we use a belt press for stone fruit?
Stones could damage the equipment and negatively affect product quality. That is why the key machine in this configuration is a de-stoning machine, which separates stones, skins and larger solid fractions from pulp or purée.
What does the stone fruit processing process look like?
The process includes raw material unloading, washing and transport of the fruit, pulping with stone separation, product buffering, pasteurization and filling into Bag-in-Box bags or bottles.
Does the washer have a grinder?
In a typical stone fruit configuration, the washer works as a transport washer without continuous grinding. However, we can provide a washer with a sliding or removable grinder if the same line is also intended to process other raw materials.
What can be produced from stone fruit?
Most often, stone fruit is processed into pulp, purée, fruit base or a juice semi-finished product for further processing. The final configuration depends on whether the product should be thick, more liquid, filtered or filled directly after pasteurization.
What filling method works best for stone fruit?
Bag-in-Box or bottle filling is most often used. The filling machine is selected according to product density, filling temperature, packaging type and planned capacity.
What does the line capacity depend on?
Capacity depends on the type of fruit, degree of ripeness, de-stoning machine operation, pasteurizer capacity, filling method and whether the product requires additional filtration or buffering.
Can one line process different stone fruit?
Yes, but process adjustment and the selection of sieves and de-stoning machine settings for different fruit should be considered. Plums, sour cherries, apricots or peaches may require different operating parameters.
